Books you should read. Part I: The Art of War

Greetings people!

So I want to kick off my new blog with a Book, which in my opinion everybody should read once in their life.  This book was written by Sun Tzu ( 544 - 496 B.C) a military general and master strategist. In his book he describes military tactics and the nature of war, e.g. how to lay out the plans. Now, you might be asking yourself, why on earth should I read a book about how to conduct war?! However, by the time you read this book you will come to the conclusion,  that his philosophy of war can be very inspiring  on normal life, such as your social life or if you have to fight your own little battles in the office.
To sum it up, one can say that this book with his 13 chapters is definitely worth a try.

"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious." - Sun Tzu
